the supremes ruled today that, even though previously harsh sentencing standards have been lowered dramatically for small drug possessions, those previously given long sentences cannot get their sentences reduced using current guidelines ... why? ... because that's not the way the law was written when they were convicted ... and congress needs to amend the laws used for such convictions before relief can be sought ... I still worry that we are going to hear something similar ... i.e., sorry, too bad too sad plaintiffs ... if you want relief, get congress to change HERA ... or file a suit challenging its constitutionally ... yeah, scotus might just use a bulldozer ... but it may be to deny us any relief ... lamberth told us HERA was the problem ... and no one listened
